</span>WK> Could you explain, why the JSF 2.3 API and RI are molded together?<br>
WK> If the API JAR is no longer separate from the RI (as it was till<br>

WK> it seems, every vendor has to build that API JAR from scratch, or carry a<br>
WK> 3-4 MB JAR where the API in 2.2 was just a little under 700kB ?;-|<br>
<br>
We will be producing a separate API artifact for all the JCP<br>
milestones.<br>
<br>
It is very important to note that the for all Java EE API jars,<br>
including JSF, the only supported use is to satisfy compile time<br>
dependencies. Including a Java EE API jar in a runtime classpath is not<br>
supported and may cause unexpected behavior.<br>
<br>
If there is demand we can investigate producing a JSF API jar for<br>
-SNAPSHOT releases as well.<br>
